Radley (Dennis Price) is a small-time crook who returns to his wife, Barbara (Renée Asherson), after a long absence to find her remarried, having believed him to be dead. She is now the wife of a wealthy publisher, and Radley, realising she will want their marriage kept secret, blackmails her for ‘hush money’. When Radley kills a jeweller in a robbery, he is blackmailed by his roommate, so in turn blackmails Barbara for increasing amounts. When she arrives at Radley’s flat to pay the final instalment, he goads her into shooting him. After giving herself up to the police, she discovers that all is not as it seems and that he is wanted for more than one murder. But how will they convict a man who is supposedly dead?
